It's a question of using the right tool for the job.

Their microphones aren't the best but then no condenser under $350 USD is.
Every cheap condenser has its own particular strengths and weaknesses but Behringer seems to take the hits for some reason.
I have their 8 channel AD/DA converter/preamp. It's incredible.

Behri bashing is a sport. I get that but once in a while I just feel the need to lend my support.
Then I'm fine again.

Just the mental image of that D3200 in a smokey bar with full beer mugs parked on the table beside it makes parts of me completely dissappear!
